OpTic had a quick plant at Bomb Site A, and after a few gun battles, it was a 3vs2 for OG. Nagafen and Envoy were left for Gen.G, who were stuck in a sticky situation as OpTic had the bomb covered pretty well. Envoy eventually went to go for the defuse as he pushed a few of OpTic members away. While going for the defuse, Nagafen was distracted by his emp which gave a hitmarker, making him think someone was coming around him. But that split second gave Scump an opportunity to eliminate Envoy, who was defusing the bomb. Then this happened.

Nagafen wasn’t able to shoot OpTic Scump in time, which Scump hid behind the bomb for cover. But it was Scump’s intelligent play that we should take notice here. Scump had a few hits on him and he had to rejuvenate his health. As Nagafen fired all of his bullets, Scump took notice and quickly shot a stun grenade which impacted Nagafen severely. Instead of getting up right away to kill him, Scump waited for a little to keep Nagafen guessing while he was stunned.

That’s when Scump stood up and slide to his right for the easy elimination. It’s a calm and collective move that many would have perhaps miscalculated given the situation since Nagafen switched to his pistol and was aiming right above the bomb (which he assumed Scump was going to stand). But Scump’s quick thinking helped secure a first-round win.

 

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to help propel OpTic Gaming into the finals, but it was definitely a moment worth noting. There will be many more CWL esports tournaments coming up, and OpTic Gaming fans can hope for a better outcome.
